Ancient Battle: Rome
Designed from the ground up Ancient Battle: Rome gives a unique wargaming experience. Use Roman legionaries, elephants, catapults, heavy and light cavalry, archers, slingers, fanatics and many other unit types to engage in classic battles.
The game features a total of 63 missions, including ‘Caesars campaign in Gaul’ culminating in the classic siege of Alesia, and the campaign between Julius Caesar and Pompey the Great, including the battle of Pharsalus.
The new Mac edition includes all the campaigns from the iOS version such as the invasion of Brittania with the highlight of Queen Boudicca’s demise at the battle of Verulamum, and Germania with the Roman massacre at Teutoburger Wald.
It also includes the infamous Parthia campaign where a whole Roman army perished in the desert and the Pontic campaign against Mithridates the Great. These later campaigns add fully armoured cataphracts, light and scythed chariots, light cavalry archers and the Greek Pike Phalanx to the game system.

A classic old-school turn-based tactics from HexWar. Do not forget they are behind Field of Glory 1, a true masterpiece of the kind. Ancient Battle is a nice, oversimplified game who does it job.

Fun little simulator where you can fight in a number of historical battles, across the Roman Republic era to the early days of the Empire. Also includes a forgotten campaign (as in there are no surviving records of what happened, probably was wiped out). Decent AI (even the Casual level can surprise), and good for a quick game.

Another good old fashioned hex strategy game, based on the battles of the Roman empire. Three difficulty levels and plenty of battles to keep you happy. You can play either side too. Great.

Simple game, fast to learn and play. Plays like a traditional tabletop wargame.

Excellent mechanics, good range of scenarios (although a few are some what ""gimiicky'). Forgiven for late republic legionaries looking like early imperial.
